It might appear that Amber with all her crying is the most emotional player. Not true, in my opinion. Amber cries and cries, but when it comes to making decisions, they tend to be rational based on the information she has and how she understands her relationship with others. In fact, in my mind, all of the HG's are playing pretty rational games at this point -- except Dick. From the very beginning, Dick has been all emotion -- and all negative emotion based on anger and revenge and vengefulness. He ignores important information that is given him that does not fit his view of things, he misinterprets actions of others, he changes his mind over and over again each week as to who he decides is lying or is the biggest threat to him and, of course, angrily and childishly attacks those he decides have not shown him proper respect. Dick is all emotion -- and he is dragging Dani along with him. The best thing for Dani would be to backdoor Dick this week, She won't of course, but she should because he is her biggest threat simply because she cannot play her own game with him there. Dick and Dani are losing the game now and as long as Dick remains, they are both sure to to be out before long <77>.

I agree, What, I think Dick's game is completely overshadowed with emotion. I think he started with a strategy in mind, to take no prisoners but when they put Dani into the house with him, it really messed up his ability to think logically. He can't see beyond imagined slights and some not so imaginary ones to both him and his daughter. His hatred of Jen is absolute proof of that. He is looking for players who will be honest, and in Jen, there is one, but all he can see is that she's shallow, didn't want him to touch her, and she was not kind to Dani in the beginning with Nick. If he could get over it, he'd be able to see more clearly, but right now, it ain't gonna happen.

Comparing Amber to Dick is like comparing an apple to an orange. Amber is all emotion but she isn't letting it affect her game play. Dick is all emotion but he is letting it affect his game play, big time. <77> It doesn't matter how "entertaining" he may be if he's bullying people. I will cheer once he's out of the house and out of the game.

Well, the pills must be working and she appears calmer now. Dick reacts too openly and too strongly to developments in the house but for the first time I found myself agreeing with him when he strongly believed Eric was the mole. I was laughing because with all his yelling he was right for a change. Unfortunately, I could never like the guy since he already showed me his true colours with his abuse of Jen.

Amber is like wallpaper now. Every time I see her she has the same blank look on her face.

Amber does not really play the game much at all. And actually when she is playing the game she is not the least bit emotional. That is really the only time she was not emotional until they upped her meds. Dick is clearly the most emotional player. His moodds swing back and forth and he makes rash decisions on a constant and consistent basis because of his emotions.

I agree that it's Dick. It's like he has this big emotional button on his chest and he allows others to push it and push it and all he does is react. His entire game has been based on his reactions to things that push the button. I keep wishing he would be less reactive because his game would be so much better. ETA: I see Amber more as being depressed. She doesn't play the game with her emotions, she just cries over everything.

i don't think dick is an emotional player. he was spot on to want nick gone (ruining dani's game) and eric is a threat to him. amber is just an emotional wreck! i swear she cries when she steps on an ant.

I don't think Dick is an emotional player. I think Amber is an emotional player.

Dick is not an emotional player. He may sit there and say emotional things, but in the end he doesn't make decisions or play the actual game with emotions. Amber is, I swear she is, bi-polar. She can go from happy to sad in no time...it's crazy. I'm not making a diagnose, I'm not even saying it's true. In MY OPINION, ONLY MY OPINION, NO ONE ELSE'S OPINION, I believe she is bi-polar and that is shown through her constant being fine and then she'll just start crying. Either that or she is really good and bringing on the fake tears...

I think Dick is totally an emotional player, perhaps not in the same realm as Amber but certainly emotional. He wanted Nick out because he was concerned about what affect Nick was having on Dani, he then regretted that decision when he thought further about the game moves realizing he had removed an ally. His wants Eric out now because he thinks Eric lied to him, I think Dick out of all the players is going to appreciate the AP twist once he finds out about it and regret once again working to get Eric out rather than working with him.

Dick seems to be an emotional player and Amber seems to be an emotional person.

Yup, Dick's the emotional player. Dick isn't a stupid man. but he seems to harbor a great deal of anger and paranoia. I couldn't figure out why he wanted Nick out. Didn't make sense to vote out an ally at this early stage of the game. I now believe I know why he did it. He was afraid that Dani would be a closer ally to Nick than to him, and that she would choose Nick over him in the end game. (That old paranoia has him in its spell.) As others have said, I'd like to see Dick evicted sooner rather than later. Danielle has shown proficiency at the physical contests, and she seems to be pretty sharp. I would very much like to see what she could do without having Dick as an albatross around her neck. I think she might exhibit a different personality and would be free to make alliances with others.

It seems to me that tonight's results show just how emotional Dick's game playing is. He gave into Dani and then to the lead for her in attacking on Eric because of Nick -- even though Dick worked hard to evict and then voted Nick out for emotional reasons the week before. Eric was NOT the biggest threat to Dick or Dani nor the most strategic move for them to make. But they wanted to avenge Nick (within a couple of hours of both voting him out! Sheesh!)and to seek revenge. Dick could have calmed his daughter down, but his emotions got the better of him -- and now the two of them are alone in the house. And all because every decision and everything Dick does is based on emotion --and usually based on negative emotions; anger and revenge.

I agree Dick is the most emotional and i cant wait to see him tilt all week long. Maybe Eric and Dustin should demand he not campaign or they'll make his week unbearable? He wouldnt like it now would he. The bully never does like being bullied!

Emotions are okay on a stage for a good actor or to show your feelings to whom you really care about. But to display them so openly in a game like BB it's a huge mistake. BB is a mind game, you have to keep your cool, to think things over... ain't gonna happen with these bunch of players. They all seem so emotiional... except Jen, she can hide her feelings most of the times.
